Finding My Baby Daddy (Pandora and Benjamin) novel Chapter 80

FLASHBACK:

“Benjamin, Mom knows something is up. You will have to tell her,” Alexis told Benjamin.

“No, I don’t. I am going to get an annulment; therefore, there’s no need to tell her anything,” he replied, checking his mirrors as he drove.

“Then why are you still wearing the ring?”

Benjamin glanced at her hand, still unsure why he couldn’t take it off. “I’ll remove it later.”

“Benjamin, she could be your one.”

He shook his head at her. “If she were, then I wouldn’t have grown attached to another girl.”

Alexis looked at him and then frowned. “Benjamin, she’s a patient, and she’s married.”

“She’s divorced,” he gritted out.

Some divorced people get remarried again, she may still love him. The babies could bring them back together.”

“He doesn’t care about her or them. Besides, she said they weren’t his,” he stated.

Alexis just shook her head. “You’re seeing this only from the way you want to see it. What about the father of the babies? I’m just asking that you look at the whole picture, she may still care about him.”

He started to tell her to stay out of it, and that she knew nothing when her cell rang.

“Hey, honey, I thought-” Alexis stopped talking and grasped his arm. “We’re ten minutes away from there, keep her calm. Benjamin, Milton just got a flat and his car is off on the side of the road.”

Before he could even respond to her statement, she continued. “One of his victims of domestic abuse is in his car and she’s in active labor; she’s about two months early.” Benjamin nodded at her as she told him where Milton was.

“Tel! him to check and see if she’s crowning,” Alexis repeated what he said to Milton. Just after she finished, he could hear a muffled woman’s voice yelling in pain, but he couldn’t make anything out.

Milton, you idiot! You have to take her pants off to see if she’s crowning! And I told you to keep her calm,” Alexis gritted out.

She looked at Benjamin and shook her head, rolling her eyes. His brother–in–law gave him a lot of shit, but he was a good guy deep down. But clearly, after that day, he would have to assume his head was full of rocks. Benjamin couldn’t believe he attempted to look and see if she was crowning without removing her pants.

“That’s them,” Alexis stated. Benjamin pulled the car over to the side of the road and Alexis ran to Milton’s car as he got his bag from the backseat.

“And this is…” The others seemed to fade when his eyes landed on Pandora looking scared, with tears tracking down her face. He couldn’t seem to say a word
